[MRCA] WW2 Radio Prices

[Captain D.]

A sham is somebody who tells a radio buyer that their NOS radio is ready to install when it's not.  The radio isn't ready to install if it doesn't work. Even $2000 is a lot of money to pay for a BC-654 that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.  And that is what a buyer expects when they're told it's "ready to install ", and they feel cheated if they don't get that.  I don't generally deal in vintage military electronics, but on the very few occasions that I do, everything is on the up and up - nothing is misrepresented - the condition of what is being sold is described clearly and the person I'm selling to has no questions and experiences no surprises with the condition of what they are getting from me BEFORE any money changes hands. Again, the radios I sell cost a little more, because they are worth it.

If that is what you do for a living, then yes, it’s expected. Otherwise, no it’s not. And I’m surprised you would throw in the cost of your labor for no charge to get a radio working for one of your customers. That’s very generous. Most people, myself included, wouldn’t do that. You should make that more widely known. I bet you’d be very busy.
